Hall v. Turner

Opinion of the Court

HENRIOD, Justice.

Appeal from a refusal to grant a petition for habeas corpus in a robbery case, for the purported reasons 1) that defendant was coerced into pleading guilty and 2)■ that the so-called standards of Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 89 S.Ct. 1709, 23 L.Ed.2d 274 (1968), were fractured. We-believe and hold that neither contention has merit under the record here and consequently affirm the trial court.

CALLISTER, C. J., and TUCKETT, ELLETT and CROCKETT, JJ., concur.
